I feel in my life there is nothing really of note to write about but the muse seems to strike me anyway. So i will just tell you all about how i got a new TV last night and went over a budget that will bring such a sweet reward.
Last night started with a trip to H&R Block to take care of those wonderful taxes! Well that was a lot of bad news but for a good reason. We aren't going to be getting as much money back as we thought but that's only because we made more money than we thought we did. So we got bad news because of a good thing. See i got out of the military in 2008 so i didn't have a job which sucked so our taxes were better. Now that i have a job our taxes suck, not really much of a reward for working so hard all year long is it?
Normally at the time we were done with the tax "professional" ( a term used lightly ) i would be on my way or already at collage for the night, but i was so late because this guy was so slow that i would have walked in half way through the class and missed most of the work that i decided just to not go and spend some over do time with my husband.
We had a good time, we went out to dinner at a restaurant that i will never go to again because we both got so sick to our stomach it was painful. This brings me to our budget. If we plan it out right in August we will be going to Ireland for about a week!! I have wanted to go travel around the emerald isle since I was a little girl. The chance that it is a very great possibility that it will happen is making me SSSOOOOO happy!! Isn't it every girls wish to travel abroad? The mystery of it and the inherent romance that goes along with it sends chills down my spine!
Now since we did our taxes my husband was able to make a purchase that he has been bugging me about for months. He (or we) bought a 50" plasma flat screen (I'm told that it being plasma isn't as good as it could be) and a surround sound system for the living room. Mind you this isn't the one he wanted but we only spent $900 total which made me very happy!!! So we get it home and its like watch the proverbial kid in a candy shop. he is in heaven and frantically putting everything together and in its place. Our roommate stands on and watches is awe. Guys and there toys always trying to impress and out do. Now our roommate wants to get a 52". Now i know this sounds huge but i didn't grasp just how big it would be until we got it into our living room to put it together. It looked a lot smaller on the shelf. The surround sound is worth every penny though too, i was shacking in my bed during the initial testing at 10:05pm.
So all in all it was a good night he got what he wanted and i have a firm grasp on what i want. We are both happy and loved and very Very blessed.
